§ MR. COURTHOPE (Sussex, Rye)To ask the Secretary of State for War whether Volunteer battalions or Yeomanry regiments of which the names or titles possess historic associations will be allowed to retain such names or titles in the Territorial Force.
(Answered by Mr. Secretary Haldane.) It is intended to retain, as far as possible, the names and titles of Yeomanry regiments and Volunteer battalions which possess historic assocations. If the hon. Member will kindly refer to the special Army Order of 18th March, dealing with the organisation and establishment of the Territorial Force, he will find full information on this point.
